Once upon a time, a handful of apps aimed to help us never miss a concert again. They pull tour dates from artists, and push them to us based on our location. Simple, yet very effective.

However. The days of winning on simple utility are over. As I outlined yesterday, Bandsintown, an app that tells five million users which bands are in town, will soon expand into content, building an “I was there” sort of scrapbooking tool. Here, fans will passively brag about all the awesome shows they saw through the app. Oh, and learn about new shows, and buy tickets while they’re at it. I noted that such a move will be the perfect extension of a mere utility into something truly meaningful.

Today, Bandsintown competitor SuperGlued unveils that it beat Bandsintown to the social media punch (kinda). With a complete redesign, the app and site now put the focus on content over utility. Yes, the Superglued app still alerts you to new shows in your area. But it also acts as a place to share videos and photos from the shows as they’re taking place. Artist pages start with a set of user-generated tiles (The Great Pinterestification of the web continues) that pull in video and photo content from their shows. There will be increased original content, including a TV channel featuring artist interviews.

The main utility, aside from ticket alerts, is contests, which SuperGlued uses to gather more users. Artists and concert promoters give away tickets in exchange for building social media buzz around a tour. A contest for tickets to a Rihanna show, for example, garnered 40,000 social media actions.

The site is young in its development — SuperGlued has hundreds of artists actively using the site,* where its competitors have hundreds of thousands. But the app is early in its grasp of the importance of making meaningful artist-fan connections. Utility is nice and ticket sales are nice. But sharing, storing memories, and reliving moments? That’s even nicer. It’s the difference between a generally loathed brand like Ticketmaster and a generally positive brand like Instagram. Which would an artist rather be associated with?

SuperGlued also has fewer users than Bandsintown and Songkick, the other concert alert utility in the market, but it has something neither of them have: access to 65 million monthly uniques via Complex media and its media properties. The startup sold to Complex, a streetwear and hip hop lifestyle magazine started by Marc Ecko, a year ago.

Since then, SuperGlued has been leaning toward content over utility. The result is a slick-looking redesign for iOS and web.

*A prior version of this story was not clear that SuperGlued has hundreds of thousands of artist profile pages; hundreds of artists actively manage their pages.

Facebook has introduced Scrapbook, a new feature that allows parents to share and collect images of their children in one place without requiring them to worry about tagging their kids’ face with each other’s names just to make sure they don’t miss what the other person has posted.

“For all the clumsy rhetorical lip service [former Yahoo News head] Guy Vidra pays to The New Republic’s hallowed intellectual traditions, this is what his vision of a nimble digital news product finally translates into: a vaguely journalistic veneer strategically designed to conceal a rancid interior of ‘elevated’ advertising.”

Indian e-commerce company Flipkart is said to be raising $600 million in its latest bid to compete with Amazon. The company is also said to have garnered a higher valuation with this funding round — quite the feat, considering it was previously valued at around $11.5 billion. [Source: The Economic Times]

Here comes another unicorn: Sprinklr, a New York-based marketing company, has raised $46 million at a $1.17 billion valuation. The funds will be used to help the 700-person company expand its marketing platform. [Source: Fortune]

Curator, the tool Twitter created so the media could find and share tweets with its audience, is now available to the public. Because if there’s anything people wanted to see more of, it’s tweets randomly inserted into blog posts, television spots, and other forms of media. [Source: TechCrunch]

Tinder is refocusing on its spam-fighting efforts in the wake of reports that movie studios are using the service to promote their movies, scammers are attempting to steal information via the app, and pranksters have created tools that trick heterosexual men into flirting with each other.

Uber offers drivers whose accounts have been deactivated a choice: attend a class that requires them to pass an exam, or take a class that doesn’t. The latter has been informed by Uber employees, and the company has sent thousands of drivers to it, according to a report from BuzzFeed. Why is that a problem? Because Uber isn’t supposed to provide its drivers with formal training; doing so makes them bona fide employees, not independent contractors. [Source: BuzzFeed]

Flipboard users will now be able to collect articles and share them via private magazines visible only to members of certain groups. The feature is aimed at students working in the same class, companies sharing press coverage, and other groups that might want an easy way to share Web pages with each other without having to use public tools like Facebook or Twitter.

T-Mobile has tasked its customers with creating a real-world coverage map that makes it easier to tell where its service works and where it doesn’t. Instead of guessing at where its customers will get service — which is what other carriers do, the company claims — it’s asking people to verify its predictions so it can be more honest with consumers.
